West Hill

The West Hill plant (near Toronto, Ontario) consists of 45 acres and manufactures water based emulsions. These emulsions go into a variety of products, the biggest single application being latex paint. More than half of what is produced at the West Hill Plant is exported to the U.S. The West Hill Plant is certified under both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The West Hill Plant is a modern plant with leading edge technology for processing, safety and environmental aspects. The company continues to invest in our site and to add new technology.

There are approximately 80 employees at West Hill who all have a strong commitment to the community. We participate in Junior Achievement providing classes for the three public schools close to the plant, namely, Peter Secor, Joseph Brant and Heron Park. Employees also deliver meals on wheels and are supporters of West Hill Community Services in other activities including being a Founder member of Stand Up Scarborough. Along with the local Rotary Clubs, we purchased a van for the handicapped, which is widely used in the community. We also strive to run our operations without being the cause of any concerns from our neighbours regarding such issues as noise, traffic or odours.
